A formally distinctive entry in this series, this piece presents the architectural labyrinth contained within a self-enclosed elongated hexagonal or shield-like silhouette, floating on white paper with generous margins rather than filling the sheet edge to edge. Within this defined shape, stairways, arched doorways, tunnels, pipes, and curving organic forms are rendered with a strong sense of three-dimensional perspective, particularly through a cobblestone or tiled pathway that recedes convincingly into the centre. The overall muted palette of blues, grays, blacks, and subtle rust tones, combined with heavier graphite use, gives this work a more sober, architectural quality. A small figure or hand appears near the top of the contained form.<br>
<br>
Signed lower right. The contained, shield-like form and strong perspective work distinguish this as one of the more formally considered entries. Estimated value range: $100 to $400.<br>
